LivingSocial ‘ashamed’ to have been offline for nearly two days

Daily deal site LivingSocial may be looking for a new deal of its own on a web hosting provider.

The site was down for nearly two days this week, featuring the message, “LivingSocial is temporarily down for maintenance. This won‘t take too long. We'll be back soon.” LivingSocial’s mobile apps were also not functioning properly.

The site went down at about noon Tuesday and wasn’t working again until Thursday morning.

Meanwhile, one of LivingSocial’s major competitors, Groupon, is in the midst of a huge promotion to give away $5 million in “Groupon Bucks” as part of its fifth anniversary celebration.
The company overhauled its site earlier this month for the first time in its history.
